Line Gets Letter Sealing End-to-End Encryption

Line has updated a new feature called Letter Sealing on its cross-platform mobile messaging app. It enables end-to-end encryption (E2EE) to protect chats when they're transmitted between users. The idea behind the new feature is to further protect messages when they are being sent, and prevent any unauthorized access during this delivery phase.

Line, an app for instant communications can be installed on electronic devices such as smartphones, tablet computers and personal computers. Line users exchange texts, images, video and audio, and conduct free VoIP conversations and video conferences.Letter Sealing scrambles the contents of your messages with a key that is only stored on your device and not on any centralized servers. Letter Sealing is the latest addition to LINE's array of numerous security features and programs. The company says this makes it impossible for a third party to read intercepted chats. It's good news for the 211 million Line users across the globe, as they can now chat without worrying about governments snooping on them.The company plans to use Letter Sealing work with one-to-one individual chats and location sharing, but will be extended to cover other features and devices in the near future. Hidden Chat, time limited messaging feature, and Passcode Lock are a few security features already included inside the messaging app. Letter Sealing is available not only on iOS and Android, but also on both Mac and Windows computers. Line promotes Line Stickers frequently, but most of them are only available in certain regions. If you want to get these new Line stickers, use a VPN to change your IP and download them.
